A lot of the early reported deaths were the result of roads and bridges being pulled apart, and I don’t know how you can engineer for that. They really were prepared.

Given that this happened when most of the people were asleep, if the building codes hadn’t been enforced we would be well into the tens of thousands.

It may go up dramatically after they get into the South, nearer the epicenter.
